If you are a cowboy or cowgirl who loves the countryside but still enjoys a heavier and more energetic sound, country rock will undoubtedly be the ideal rhythm to accompany your solo moments or gatherings with friends.
Characterized by the union of guitar and viola, the style draws inspiration from great international bands like Motörhead and even classic Brazilian artists like Tião Carreiro and Pardinho. Most of the lyrics focus on the relationship between rural areas and urban life. Furthermore, country rock bands capture the energy of the Wild West blended with a rural simplicity. This fusion between rock and folk music is, at the very least, quite interesting.

Originating from Londrina (PR), the band Mary Lee & B Side Brothers stands out for having a woman in the vocals, being one of the few bands with female voices in the genre.

Currently, the vocalist is known as the “Johnny Cash in skirts” of Brazil.
The one-man band consists of the Amazonian Klaus Koti. Due to his constant contact with nature in his region, Koti incorporates sounds of animals and rural life into his music.

Now that's a complete artist, right?
